Dear OMs and Yls Can someone tell me for what serial number the change to Gold plated pins was made for the K3. I note that David found it necessary to do this for SN 4474. I have two K3s one 2574 and the later 5487. I thought they were both using gold plated pins. I could take the older one apart to check but it would be nice to know the cutoff SN for gold plated connectors.
I did check the Elecraft site and am unable to find the answer let alone the upgrade kit though I can find plenty of other updates. Thank you to whoever answers this query. 73 Doug EI2CN -----Original Message----- =7606351&i=0>] On Behalf Of Dave >> G3WGN M6O >> Sent: 16 August 2015 10:39 >> To: [hidden email]</user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=7606351&i=1> >> Subject: [Elecraft] K3 TX calibration fails after KXV3B and SYN3A upgrade >> >> I'm hoping there is a quick fix for this (some fat-fingering or brain fade >> on >> my part is entirely possible) as the K3 in question is one of four heading >> to E6GG next month. >> Yesterday I upgraded S/N 4474 with KXV3B and 2 x SYN3As and while the panels >> were off, also did the 12V DC Out mod and gold connector replacement mod.
